Randwick   12 Apr 2025
 
GOING: G(4)

TAB QUEEN OF THE TURF STAKES 1600m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 5.21)  

Genuine tempo with Grinzinger Belle leading the way. FANGIRL (1) outstanding mare with an excellent record over the Randwick mile. Stormed home late for an unlucky second over 1500m in the G1 George Ryder at Rosehill. Tempo suits and will be charging strongly. STEFI MAGNETICA (2) backs-up quickly after getting up in the last stride when taking out the G1 Doncaster Mile at this track last Saturday. Finished a narrow fourth to Mr Brightside on the quick backup in the Cantala last November. Goes close. LAZZURA (12) nice filly who deserves her shot here. Tragedy beaten when getting out late to run second in the G2 Emancipation over 1500m at Rosehill. Berry sticks and she stays in the mix. ATISHU (3) tough mare with a good record in this race. Far from disgraced when fourth in the G1 Australian Cup over 2000m at Flemington. Conditions suit and worth plenty of thought. GRINZINGER BELLE (6) ran them into the ground when a slick winner over 1600m in the G2 Sunline Stakes at Moonee Valley. This is tougher but can give plenty of cheek. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fangirl to win.
